So now that the year 2018 is coming to a close,Google, in keeping with tradition has published this year’s searches including those from Zimbabwe. The inevitable conclusion from perusing the top question searches is that Zimbabweans are clearly in need of Sex Education classes.
I am guessing that a lot of these question searches were made by confused teenagers. These days I have observed that a lot of Zimbabwean families are becoming more core as opposed to extended. The sex-ed roles of uncles and aunts are now difficult for them to play due to this social changes which leaves parents in charge. For most parents, sex and love are taboos that are not to be mentioned in presence of let alone during discussions with the children. This sees the young ones turning to Google.
Here are the top searches by category:

The other important lesson I learnt was that there are a lot Tim Bergling fans out there. I thought I was one of the few people that liked his music.
As always the details for Zimbabwe are not as detailed as those of other countries. You can read the original report on Google’s website here. As always feel free to share with us what your feel about this data or what your top searches were.
what about Ginimbi is Google reliable
I guess he is not as popular as people think. Last time I told my wife about something he had done she just asked who is Ginimimbi? Google knows a lot of stuff about us. Like a lot. Just try looking at your timeline in your account settings. It doesn’t matter whether your internet is switched on or not
People search for Ginimbi on Facebook, not Google I guess.
How to write a report ? is still a problem in Zimbabwe
No I think these are ZIMSEC students. Because of our population size their searches impact the overall result in a perhaps disproportionate way
I have to confess, it took me so long to remember who Meghan Markle is, I almost googled her!
